"Windows" phone scam alert

[Kiwi]

That seems to be the go. Run them around for an hour...then get that ref's whistle out as they start to get annoyed.

Well I put them on "hold" for about 10 minutes and let them listen to Friday by the lovely Rebecca Black on repeat.

Got a few with it. The key is to act as though you're going along with it and get to or close to the penultimate stage. You can usually find the steps they take you through to convince your computer is buggered online, so just follow it right up to the crucial stage. Either that or pretend to have issues with the internet and put them on hold while "you call your internet provider"

That, and also tell them the computer is another room, so hold on while I go and check, every few minutes or so say "yep got that, what next".
The way I see it, the longer I keep them on the phone, the less time they have to phone some old pensioner who may actually fall for it

Make sure it is between 22 and 26 MHz though, as anything over 90 decibels outside those ranges can't be heard through a phone

Just blow the ref's whistle mate. It will be game over in under a minute...

An air horn if you have one also would be an adequate replacement

There's a man who knocks at my house, usually thursday or friday evenings

I open the door and he just says "windows", then I give him £4

I actually had no idea it was a scam until this thread

I'm glad you've highlighted it and I'll have no hesitation in reprimanding him next time

I'll probably hit him with a mop too

£4 for cleaning your windows ? On a bargain there mate.

We need to get a mob to go to that call centre, drag the perpetrator out and maim him for a prolonged period of time.

I say we should kill him to bits.
